Note Org-mode version.

I think the ability to pass #+attr_latex options to plain lists was a
more recent feature, > Org 8.0 with the new export framework. Unless
you're manually accessing that exporter via the sort of "trial period"
methods that used to exist while it was in heavy development, I'm
going to assume you're using the old exporter and thus don't have this
feature.

Here's the announcement/upgrade info if you'd like to update things to Org 8+:
- http://orgmode.org/worg/org-8.0.html

Here's my output:


==== Org file ====
#+latex_header: \usepackage{enumitem}

* Test

** normal

- item 1
- item 2
- item 3

** with enumitem

#+attr_latex: :options itemsep=1pt
- item 1
- item 2
- item 3
==========


==== LateX output ====
\section{Test}
\label{sec-1}

\subsection{normal}
\label{sec-1-1}

\begin{itemize}
\item item 1
\item item 2
\item item 3
\end{itemize}
\subsection{with enumitem}
\label{sec-1-2}

\begin{itemize}[itemsep=1pt]
\item item 1
\item item 2
\item item 3
\end{itemize}
=========

In inspecting the PDF output, the spacing is, indeed, different
between the two lists (less in the second case).

I didn't comment on your per-headline latex setup/properties/issues,
as I don't really do that. I typically just put everything in the main
document. I'm sure someone else can chime in, though.


Best regards,
John
